    It's interesting, it seems like a lot of companies are using nostalgia for a profit.

    Logging in makes no difference, I just don't understand the Q. Pay changes could encompass like 5 different scenarios (some handled well, some handled poorly at present)

    My biggest focus that is tangentially related right now is splitting the API in half. One half for the Requester's overall aggregates, the other half for HIT specific aggregates. Which I'm actually just about to upload the first test of.. I think this part will cover pay changes? You wouldn't see inaccurate aggregate data for a HIT that had its base reward amount lowered/raised.

    The consumers keep pushing they want it. SNES and NES classic are the furby's of today.
    Most of those games are shit. A few stand out as "classic" but most of them are poorly coded games.

    No, I mean that I just haven't bothered to really check it out and see how it works since I can't log in, lol.
    Yeah, this kind of stuff was what I was getting at.
    Also, stuff that pays out mostly in bonus and goes from generous to stingy (and maybe back again) within X period of time.

    Bonuses are so difficult because mTurk itself doesn't track them and the only way to get them is from the user's e-mail, which is a "no no" to run scripts on (for me). So unfortunately that'll always be up to user reporting, barring a major change in worker which I see no indication of happening (though status detail pages are still MIA so.. maybe.. LOL YEAH RIGHT).

    No need to be logged in, you should check it out. I visited almost everyday for 2 weeks before officially signing in and posting my first review.

    That's true, consumers go crazy for it. I myself am like that in some cases. If they announced that they were remastering all of the Pokemon games on the switch, I would buy it in a heartbeat even though I've beat all of them before

    I stopped playing Pokemon when they split Special into SpAtk/SpDef.

    I actually really liked that change. It added more strategic depth to the game

    They added some other things that added strategic depth at the same time, but I think this change made it more shallow, in isolation.
